Today everthing went every well as usual in the morning. After my daughter returned home, she told me that the piano class stopped today, and she did not have to go to practise the piano tomorrow. After hearing of her words, I suddenly realized that the summer holidays will be over soon and I will go into my route of teaching.

Suddenly I did not know why I had such a bad notion that the holidays are always so short but a school term is always so long a hard one. In fact, time is the same to the holidays and a school term, and different is how you feel and what you think of. So in some sense, it only means that I am feeling a little depressed and a bit upset about the job of my own. I do not have much confidence in my future, and I also know it is not good for my coming new school term and my much progress in my teaching and research.

So it is where it is. But I can control my mood and attitude even though I can not change my working environment. How I should get along with others is not more than what attitude I should have towards them. Attitude determines everything! Passion is everything! I know these encouraging words, but I do not practise them evey well, so in the coming new school term, I will try my best to put them into practice to ignite myself and bright myself and push myself.

At about 2 pm, my daughter called me to wake up, but I was really really very tired and did not get up, and just wanted to sleep a little more. Then I hesitated a short time before I finally got up. But at last I got up because I suddenly realized it would be a bad example for my loving daughter if I did not get up on time when she got up to continue her revision plan. So I made up my mind to set a gooooood example for my daughter.

In the whole afternoon, my daughter continued her revision plan and went on to translate another half of the article I did not complete yersterday. In fact, I finished the big part of the part left in the morning. In the afternoon, I completed all the task of translation and did some tense change necessary.

After I published it in my English Garden, I felt very very relaxed and fine to be fresh. So if you want to have a feeling of happiness, the best way is to work yourself very hard first full of energy and enthusiasm, and then to relax yourself. After that, you will really feel yourself and can be very relaxed.

I am vey tired but also very happy. I work very hard but I am also very happy!
